X-pipe painting.
So we didn't get my x-pipe on this weekend (the lift I was going to use was occupied by a project car), so we took the extra time to clean it up and paint it. The pipe itself is used and it had some surface scratches and rust. Yesterday Mike and I took some solvent and cleaned it up and then used some steel wool to further square things away. Today Adam and I sanded it down and then used some really high temperature paint and painted it. I have to say, the end result is impressive. The damn thing looks almost new again. Now all I have to do is get it on the car :D

Lets make Sean's statement a little more accurate. Sean sanded it and Adam painted it.:D

Yeah, Aaron, Jose, and I finally finished around 8:30. Now I am going to be spending the next week adjusting the clutch.

What you think I should do? I was originally thinking steel wool, but once the paint is off the tips I want to safely polish it.. |

No, Dyno. You know Chevies don't make power. :judge: Sorry, don't know anyone with a lift. How high does it have to be?? |

Sean, Just take it to Greg the day before the dyno. He charged me $50 to install my X-pipe. |
I changed mine in my driveway with jack stands.

Sean, if your x-pipe is like mine you can remove and install the new one by just lifting the front of the car. I didn't even need to lift the back to be able to do it. |

That is pretty much how my dad and I swapped out his tranny in the 72 Mach. Put the rear up on jack stands and put the front of the car on ramps and blocks and gave us enough room to get the trans out. If we can get anywhere near that kind of lift on Sean's car we should have plenty of room. |
